Research Interest and expertise in the field of nutraceuticals and functional food
I lead the group of bioengineering at CNR-IEIIT Genova and I have validated different bioreactor system fabricated with 3D printing, for better resembling the in vivo physiology in the lab. These bioreactors have been used to culture different cellular models, among these CaCo2 intestinal cells, 3D reconstructed tissues, cells laden hydrogels under fluid dynamic conditions and the cells behaviour and the food molecules/drugs permeation through the intestinal model have been investigated

Keywords: bioreactors, intestinal permeation, 3D gut tissue, 3D printing
